Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) announced that it has inked a four year Carrier Ethernet project with Far EasTone Telecommunications (FET), a major telecom operator in Taiwan, for its IP network transformation. By converging its current metro network and IP/MPLS-based Carrier Ethernet infrastructure, Alcatel-Lucent’s solution will help FET quickly introduce the next generation of mobile broadband services to its customers.
The unified network infrastructure will enable FET to pursue a quick mobile traffic expansion in its 3G network and offer advanced services to businesses with improved scalability and quality of service (QoS). Meanwhile, FET can also lay a foundation for future introduction of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.
“While IP video, multimedia, and other high-bandwidth applications become increasingly popular, they require an all-IP multi-service infrastructure to satisfy the market’s growing needs for converged services with speed and bandwidth,” said Jeffey Gee, CTO of Far EasTone and president of New Century InfoComm.
“This project further solidifies Alcatel-Lucent’s presence in the Taiwanese market. We believe our premium Carrier Ethernet solution and our strong professional service skills give FET a significant advantage by providing them with a strong network foundation upon which they can continue to increase both their services and bandwidth in a cost-effective manner,” said Rajeev Singh-Molares, president of Alcatel-Lucent’s activities in Asia-Pacific.
Under the terms of the contract, Alcatel-Lucent will supply FET with a comprehensive Carrier Ethernet solution which includes its 7750 Service Router, 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR), 7210 Service Access Switch (SAS) and 5620 Service Aware Manager. Alcatel-Lucent will also provide surround services and expertise in the areas such as project management, consulting and design, integration services, installation, deployment and maintenance. Leveraging Alcatel-Lucent’s IP portfolio, FET can reduce operating expenditures and quickly deploy advanced, revenue-generating services through scalable, evolvable, cost-efficient and fully managed IP-based transport networks.
